The 15th Genomic Standards Council meeting will be held in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, April 22-24 2013, with a hackathon on April 24 and 25. From the meeting website:

This meeting will highlight the utilization of genome metadata standards for the enhancement of our biological understanding of microbes, the interaction between microbial genomes, human health and disease. GSC15 will provide a forum for standards developers, genome and metagenome researchers and biological database developers to discuss their research, initiate collaborations, join GSC working groups and engage in panel discussions. The conference will include two days of plenary talks featuring GSC projects and community standards efforts along with a keynote speaker, discussion of standards among a government panel and groups discussion panel. Day 3 of GSC15 will include concurrent GSC working groups open to GSC15 participants.
